Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says Israel will not allow any humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
In a statement, Katz added no preparations are being made to bring supplies into the strip.
He said the blockade was a way of putting pressure on Hamas.
Israel has blocked food, medicine and other critical supplies from entering the strip for more than a month.
Aid agencies say there are concerns of a full-blown famine taking hold.
